IT'S AMERICAN OCCUPATION

IF you want slick, chic clothes at throw-away prices; if you like, mad ideas and crazy hate then American fashion is for you.

The giant American dress Industry - it supports 52-page dally paper devoted to nothing but clothes-in- And fends to move in on the world's fashion markets. that means that before long we will all be templed to buy American fashion.

Chic, in an obvious kind of way.

There is nothing the Amerleans don't know about the old fashion, tricks of freshening up an outfit with white, using braid to give a slick edging to a collares coat, and the impact of clear red as a basic fashion colour.

Easy to care for

The American woman just will not hantt-iauncler her clothes Everything, even the must delicate-lookiru blouse, slipped indiscriminately into the automatic washer, So American-made colles must be tough enough to stand a washing machine, and drip-dry too.

Superb fit

The American woman demand-and gets the most comprehensive sizing system In the world. They don't simply go in for half sizes, they have quarter sizes as well, with variety of nitings to each length.

It takes time to find sat which sizes is yours, but when you do, your clothes look as though they have been hand- made for year.

Adventurous fabrics

A new synthetic comes in the market, a new weave, new colour-schesne and the American cloth manufacturers are ready and willing to try it out. You will find new fashions in fabrics appear more quickly in clothes from America than anywhere else.

Beautifully cut

No-one understands machine-made elothes better than the Americans whe, after, all started the whole idea. And no-o can cut better for mass production. So American- de fashion has a stekners of design that no-one else

can equal.
